Critics Consensus: Snowden boasts a thrilling fact-based tale and a solid lead performance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, even if director Oliver Stone saps the story of some of its impact by playing it safe.

Zach Pope

Oliver Stone's best movie in years

Stone brings to light that our disturbed and anxious feelings about cyber-scrutiny are not paranoia, because that word suggests the menace isn't real.

While not in the upper tier of Stones films, Snowden is an educational tour into Oliver Stones U.S. The film has a feel of JFK and brings to light more questions most of us would never think to ask.

It's the best movie Oliver Stone has helmed since the 20th century. While it lacks the emotional wallop or technical prowess of his revered projects from the 1980s and '90s, it at least finds him shakily getting back on his feet.

Oliver Stone directed Snowden, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt brings him to life.
